EJECTING APPA'RATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 523,581, dated July 24,1894:. Application filed April 9, 1894- Serial No. 506,898. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern;

1 Be it known that I, ALEXANDER KLINGER,-.

or solid to be projected from an independentsource of supply connectedto the nozzle, and forces it from said nozzle.

- It also consists in the combination of the nozzle proper through whichthe water, steam, gas or air is forced under pressure, of asupplement-al nozzle surrounding the first nozzle, and one within thesame, the two latternozzles being connected to an independent source ofsupply and having their contents drawn from them by the nozzle proper atthe center and outer periphery of the latter.

My invention is more fully set forth in the following specification andthe accompanying drawings, in which latter- Figure 1. representsacentral,vertical, longitudinal section of the devices embodying myinvention with both center and peripheral or rim discharge of the liquidto be ejected, into the main discharging nozzle. Fig. 2. represents adetail top plan view of the same. Fig. 3. represents a transverse,vertical section through said devices.

Ain the drawings represents themain power supply pipe for the water,steam, gas or air that is to be supplied under pressure; B the supplypipe for the liquid or solid which is to be supplied to the nozzle A bythe suction of the rapidly moving contents of said nozzle.

The nozzle'A as shown in Fig. 1. is composed of three parts, to wit, acentral flat inner nozzle C, acylindrical nozzle D surrounding the sameand a funnel shaped nozzle E surrounding said cylindrical nozzle; thenozzle D having screw threads out thereon to engage a sleeve a attachedto the hose or pipe A. The nozzle E has its rear end contracted andinternally screw threaded so as to screw upon the threads of the nozzleA. The nozzle G has its rear end seated aboutan opening cut in thebottom of the nozzle D, and as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, is elliptical incross section so as to offer very little resistance to the liquid underpressure which is passing through the nozzle A.

The nozzle 0 is kept in positionby a screw threaded and apertured nipplef which engages the internal screw threads of said nozzle O at one ofits ends and is formed with a flaring flange f at its opposite end. Thisflaring flange rests under the contracted flange g of a nipple G whichpasses through an aperture in the.bottom of the nozzleE and is screwthreaded to engage a sleeve H attached to the supply pipe B. v

The nipple f is provided with a series of apertures f which open intothe nozzle E and thus a portion of the contents of the pipe B passesinto said nozzle E.

The nozzle E is much longer than the nozzle D so that the contents ofboth nozzles become thoroughly commingled in this extended portionbefore being discharged from the end thereof.

As. the water, steam, gas \or airis forced un-' der pressure through thenozzle D it draws the liquid from the nozzle 0 and the nozzleE thussecuring a central and peripheral discharge, of the liquid to beejected, into the dischargefrom the nozzle D and thus the contents ofall of the nozzles are thoroughly mixed beforebeing discharged. r

The supply pipe B is connected to a tub or reservoir I which containsthe liquid to be drawn through and ejected from the nozzle. When thedevice is employed to destroy insects or the like upon vegetation, asuitable liquid for that purpose is placed in the tub or reservoir anddrawn therefrom as before described. When it is used as a fire extinguisher, a suitable chemical which will smother the flames is placedin'the said tub or reservoir.

My invention might be employedto oper-' ate'a magazine gun. In thisapplication of my invention the .power employed would be steam, air orgas under great pressure. Where steam is employed, it would be suppliedfrom a suitable steam boiler which is connected to the enlargement of agun barrel by means of a connection pipe, which latter is provided witharegulating cock. A magazine tube extends through the rear end of thesaid enlargement of the gun and to within a short distance of thecontracted portion of the same.

The operation of the gun would be as follows: The magazine tube isfilled with any suitable projectiles, and the above mentioned cockopened permitting the steam' to rush into the gun tube enlargement andfinally into the gun tube. As the steam rushes past the opening of themagazine tube at the forward end of the same and on all sides, it drawsthe projectiles from the said magazine into the bar rel of the gun K andwhen thus drawn out the steam behind said projectiles will force themfrom the barrel with great velocity. The projections are drawnsuccessively from the magazine as long as the steam discharges, thesteam about the mouth of the magazine forming a wall on all sides tocarry the projectile straight ahead into the gun tube. The rear end ofthe magazine tube may be closed by 1 any suitable door if desired. Thegun tube is of the same diameter as the magazine barrel, and if forinstance, this diameter was about one inch and the power of the steamabout one hundred and fifty or two hundred pounds to the square inch,the velocity with which the projectile would be drawn out and thedistance it would be thrown would be very great.

I contemplate constructing the projector of sulficient size and adapt itfor propelling parcels or hollow projectiles or carriers containingletters, money or the like, and thus cmploying the invention as a rapidmeans for conveying such articles.-

The device as shown in Figs. 1 and 4 is very source of supply, anauxiliary nozzle E surrounding said 'nozzle D, another auxiliary nozzle0 connected to another source ofpsupply and passing through the nozzlesD and E and discharging centrally within the nozzle D and provided withapertures by means of which a portion of its contents is fed into thenozzle E5 said nozzle 0 being elliptical in cross section so as to offerless resistance to the passage of the contents of the nozzle Dsubstantially as described. a i

2. In an ejector or nozzle the combination. of the nozzle properconnected with one source of supply an auxiliary nozzle about saidnozzle proper, another auxiliary nozzle connected to another source ofsupply and passing fthrough the before mentioned nozzles and dischargingcentrally within the nozzle proper and provided with apertures by meansof which a portion of its contents is fed into the before mentionedauxiliary nozzle surrounding the main nozzle, substantially asdescribed. In testimony'whereof I hereunto affix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
